The Japanese automaker called the recall a “precautionary measure” and said owners should have their brakes checked for corrosion. Dealers also will spray a protective material over the brake lines to prevent corrosion.

The recall is for cars registered in cold weather states where salted roads during winter contribute to corrosion problems.

But there also have been large recalls by Toyota, Ford, Honda and others. The rest of the industry has recalled about 14 million vehicles so far this year, about two-thirds of the number all automakers recalled in the U.S. in all of last year, according to data from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration.
